National Electric Rate Study Ranking of typical residential, commercial and industrial electric bills 2016 Study 1040 O Street, P.O. Box 80869 Lincoln, NE 68501-0869 Lincoln Electric System p: 402.475.4211 www.les.com 2016 National Rate Study Summary The methodology changed for the 2016 report due declining survey response rates and to account for recommended changes in the sampling method used based on an assessment of the utilities included (see Detail section for list of added and omitted cities). LES The National Electric Rate Study ranks residential, commercial and industrial electric rates of 100 cities across the nation. (1= Lowest Bill, 100 = Highest Bill) Rates used are those approved to be in effect January 1, 2016, including seasonal differences. Lincoln Electric System (LES) bills are calculated with rates that went into effect January 1, 2016 and include surcharges and other non-sales tax charges (if known). Bills for investor-owned utilities were collected from Edison Electric Institute’s 2016 Typical Winter Bills report. Bills for municipal/public power utilities were calculated using each respective utility’s published rate tariffs. This is a departure from the previous National Rate Surveys where surveys were sent out to the utilities themselves. Average bills are calculated using rates from a 12-month period to include seasonal rates. All bill data applies to one month of service. Lincoln ranks 13th overall, 13th in residential and 13th in commercial and industrial combined. LES ranks in the top ten in 7 of 12 categories. Lincoln was 11th last year. With the new sample methodology, the inclusion of Amarillo, TX puts the city in the Top 10 while Greensboro, NC—in the Top 10 in the 2015 study—was removed in the 2016 study. Overall, there are more electric rate decreases (59 percent) than increases (36 percent). Of the public power utilities, 50 percent reported increases, and 38 percent reported decreases. Of the investor-owned utilities, 32 percent reported increases, and 66 percent reported decreases. Looking at the real price of electricity (rates after adjustment for inflation), Lincoln’s real price decreased by 1.5 percent. 2016 National Rate Study Summary 2016 National Rate Study Summary LES residential customers using 1,000 kWh pay $93.62, which is 29 percent less than the study average of $131.53, while LES industrial customers using 1,000 kW and 400,000 kWh pay $29,969, 22 percent less than the study average of $38,537. Regionally, LES’ annual bills are the second lowest. Only Des Moines, ranked 5th lowest nationally, has a lower regional ranking than Lincoln. The region includes the following eight cities: Colorado Springs, Colorado Des Moines, Iowa Kansas City, Kansas Wichita, Kansas Minneapolis, Minnesota Kansas City, Missouri Lincoln, Nebraska Omaha, Nebraska 2016 National Rate Study Summary 2016 National Rate Study Contents The 2016 National Rate Study is broken out into several sections: Detail: Killowatt-Hour Usages Ranked Selection Criteria for Cities Included in the Ranking Overview of the New Rate Study Methodology Source of Rate Data Tables: Table 1: Summary of LES Ranking Compared to Other Cities Table 2: Highest and Lowest Overall Ranks Table 3: Major Rate Changes – Increases and Decreases Table 4: 10 Highest and Lowest Bills per Usage Category Charts: Chart A: National Trend in Electric Bills Chart B: Sample Ranges of Typical Bills by Usage Category Chart C: Map – Average Residential Bill by State (1,000 kWh) Chart D: Rank of Average Residential Bill by State (1,000 kWh) Chart E: Map – Average Industrial Bill by State (1,000 kW and 400,000 kWh) Chart F: Rank of Average Industrial Bill by State (1,000 kW and 400,000 kWh) Chart G: Residential and Industrial Real Price Trends Schedules: Schedule 1: Listing of average annual residential and commercial bills arranged by state and city Schedule 2: Rankings of residential and commercial bills arranged by state and city Schedule 3: Listing of average annual industrial bills arranged by state and city Schedule 4: Rankings of industrial bills arranged by state and city Schedule 5: Index to Utilities in the Study Schedule 6: Overall Ranks 2016 National Rate Study Contents 2016 National Rate Study Detail Lincoln Electric System has ranked U.S. cities (served by Municipal/Public Power or Investorowned Utilities) from the lowest (number 1) to the highest (number 100) based on average monthly electric bills by various categories of typical usage for residential, commercial, and industrial rates in effect January 1, 2016. Average bills are calculated using rates from the 12-month period to include seasonal rates. All bill data applies to one month of service. Kilowatt-Hour Usages Ranked The kilowatt–hour (kWh) usage levels used in the ranking of average residential bills were: 500 kWh 1,000 kWh The average commercial bills were stratified by kilowatt (kW) and kilowatt-hour (kWh). The categories used in the ranking are as follows: 40 kW and 10,000 kWh (35% Load Factor) 40 kW and 14,000 kWh (49% Load Factor) 500 kW and 150,000 kWh (42% Load Factor) 500 kW and 180,000 kWh (50% Load Factor) The average industrial bills were stratified by kilowatt (kW) and kilowatt-hour (kWh). The categories used in the ranking are as follows: 75 kW and 15,000 kWh (28% Load Factor) 75 kW and 30,000 kWh (56% Load Factor) 75 kW and 50,000 kWh (93% Load Factor) 1,000 kW and 200,000 kWh (28% Load Factor) 1,000 kW and 400,000 kWh (56% Load Factor) 1,000 kW and 650,000 kWh (90% Load Factor) Selection Criteria for Cities Included in the Ranking From 1984 to 2015, LES originally selected cities to be included in the ranking based on criteria shown below: Cities with a population greater than 100,000. 2016 National Rate Study Detail 2016 National Rate Study Detail Minimum of one city from every state. (If a state did not have a city meeting the population criteria, the state's largest city was selected.) Maximum of three cities from any state. (If a state had more than three cities meeting the population criteria, three were selected at random; however, cities served by the same utility were not selected when possible.) Overview of the New Rate Study Methodology For 2016 it was proposed to review whether certain cities continued to meet the selection criteria. A review process was undertaken to realign the sample methodology as well as the data collection process. This resulted in several changes: In the past, surveys were sent out to utilities to fill out and return asking for typical bill information segmented out by the 12 billing categories used in the report. Over the years the response rate for these surveys had declined and their entries replaced with a rate model constructed from that utility’s published rate schedule. It was decided that the few remaining surveyed would be replaced with their own rate models and that the survey would instead be conducted as a study going forward. Due to the consolidation of many utilities, especially in states with a large number of investorowned utilities, a number of cities in a given state were served by the same utility with the same rates. These extra utilities were removed from the rate study and only the largest city of the group was kept. A new list of utilities for sampling was proposed and discussed with LES management and a number of new utilities were added to round out the survey. This was both to replace some of the utilities removed from the sample and to update the report for a better balance of cities. Cities Added to Rate Study Cities Removed From Rate Study Amarillo, TX Mobile, AL Charleston, WV New Haven, CT Sacramento, CA Waterbury, CT Myrtle Beach, SC Columbus, GA Fairbanks, AK Savannah, GA Rockford, IL Saint Paul, MN Greensboro, NC Paterson, NJ Dallas, TX Norfolk, VA 2016 National Rate Study Detail 2016 National Rate Study Detail Source of Rate Data LES obtained the majority of the data for investor-owned utilities from the Rate Regulation Department of the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) publication, Typical Bills and Average Rates Report, Winter 2016, bills as of January 1, 2016. The data for municipal/public power utilities and investorowned utilities not included in the EEI publication was obtained by modeling each utility’s typical bills from their published rate schedules. We performed no additional procedures to verify either the data obtained from the municipal/public power utilities survey or the EEI publication. Detailed results of the rankings and utilities included can be found in the Schedules section of the report. 2016 National Rate Study Detail Table 1 2016 National Rate Study LES Ranking as compared to surveyed cities Survey Rank Approx. # of Customers 2016 2015 Change 19,600 12,400 16 9 17 5 1 -4 13 10 -3 3 8 38 28 1 6 3 54 21 8 3 6 35 23 3 4 2 52 17 6 0 -2 -3 -5 2 -2 -1 -2 -4 -2 Commercial and Industrial Survey Rank: 13 12 -1 Overall Survey Rank: 13 11 -2 Category Residential 1. 500 kWh 2. 1,000 kWh Residential Survey Rank Commercial and Industrial 3. 40 kW and 10,000 kWh (35% Load Factor) 4. 40 kW and 14,000 kWh (49% Load Factor) 5. 500 kW and 150,000 kWh (42% Load Factor) 6. 500 kW and 180,000 kWh (50% Load Factor) 7. 75 kW and 15,000 kWh (28% Load Factor) 8. 75 kW and 30,000 kWh (56% Load Factor) 9. 75 kW and 50,000 kWh (93% Load Factor) 10. 1,000 kW and 200,000 kWh (28% Load Factor) 11. 1,000 kW and 400,000 kWh (56% Load Factor) 12. 1,000 kW and 650,000 kWh (90% Load Factor) 2 27 11 10 8 54 7 0 7 4 Notes: - Ranks are from 1 (lowest rank) to 100 (highest rank) - Positive change indicates an improvement in rank 2016 National Rate Study Tables Table 2 2016 National Rate Study Highest and Lowest Overall Ranks 1 Overall Survey Rank Average Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 3.3 4.8 6.2 6.8 8.9 10.2 10.3 11.0 11.1 12.1 Overall Survey Rank 2016 Average Rank 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 91.0 91.8 92.5 94.6 94.7 94.8 96.4 97.0 98.2 99.7 2016 1 City (2015 Rank) Tulsa, OK (1) Tacoma, WA (2) Oklahoma City, OK (12) Boise, ID (3) Des Moines, IA (4) Amarillo, TX (*) Davenport, IA (6) Buffalo, NY (21) Seattle, WA (5) Baton Rouge, LA (20) 1 City (2015 Rank) Anchorage, AK (82) Bridgeport, CT (93) Fairbanks, AK (*) Pawtucket, RI (91) San Francisco, CA (86) Cambridge, MA (89) New York City, NY (88) Boston, MA (92) San Diego, CA (89) Honolulu, HI (95) -2% 3% -15% -1% -1% * -1% -22% 1% -11% Average Bill Difference from 2015 13% -28% * -24% 3% -19% -6% -19% -4% -18% Average ranking of the 12 categories * Denotes new city added to study 2016 National Rate Study Tables Average Bill Difference from 2015 Table 3 2016 National Rate Study Major Rate Changes - Increases - No single driver explains the top 10 bill increases, with reasons ranging from rate requests to recover investment and upgrade costs to the restructuring of how rates are calculated.
